OH My Gosh!  I don't believe this....

Open 'Word' program on your computer..or any Windows Word processing program that allows you to choose from the standard fonts.

Type in the letters QQ3NY  which is the call letters of flight 93 which hit the WTC.

Now enlarge the type to the highest point setting you can like 48 or 72 points

Now highlight the letters and set the font to 'Wingding'

Are you as shocked as I am!  This has to be a coincidence but a VERY VERY strange one!

Well, I did a "google" check on the number to check out the story and nothing was found.  But the webspiders must not have found some recent info on sites.  Seems that I fell for the hoax that is spreading around the world.  It does create a very scary wingding font which has been a standard Word font for many years. BUT

QQ3NY" is not the flight number of any flight that was hijacked and crashed on 9/11/01. The actual flight numbers were AA11, AA77, UA93, and UA175.

E-mails suggesting the coincidence appears to be very widespread:  reports of this e-mail come from Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, and the UK - in addition to the United States.

Some versions say that the QQ3NY refers not to the flight number, but rather to the identifying number of the aircraft itself. This claim, however, is equally bogus. According to Bill Schuman of the FAA's Public Affairs Department in Washington, DC, the identifying number of every civil aircraft in the United States begins with the letter "N," no exceptions.

"Q33NY" is not associated in any way with any of the hijacked airliners.  It is not one of the flight numbers.  It is not the tail (registration) number of any of the airplanes (we have the actual tail numbers below), and was not a designation on radar that day, and is not the identity of the subway tunnel leading to the airport or the World Trade Center.  It's not one of the gate numbers.  With few exceptions, all civilian aircraft in the U.S. have a tail number that begins with "N."  TruthOrFiction.com has searched the FAA database that includes all airliners and found no airplane with Q33NY or any that begin with "Q" at all.

Penn Jillette (Of Penn and Teller fame) wrote an essay in response to all this that is both funny and accurate. Its called I Heart My Dogs Head. Link is below.

A funny line excerpted from his essay
"once you're crazy and know nothing about numbers, the chances of finding something psychotic and hateful in a scrabble factory explosion are hovering just around 100%"."

"The real question is why would a Neo-Nazi hide his/her psychopathic hate messages in ASCII numbers where only Brian and his probably imaginary "friend" could find them? What does that accomplish for the Aryan race? With the only slightly limited freedom of speech in this country, Hitler Jr. could just state his/her sick message outright on "Geraldo" - just like everyone else. "
